“For every fundamentalist who loves the Bible more than Christ, I’m willing to bet there is one emergent Christian who honors the Bible less than Christ did” from “Why We’re Not Emergent by Two Guys Who Should Be”

A common question that many people have is simply “How do I study the Bible?” If we are honest, this can be a real struggle for many people. Some people find sections to be hard to understand. Some people find they can read an entire chapter and not remember hardly of it by the time they close the book. Some people see reading the Bible as a chore and often lose the passion to dig in.

At The Shepherd’s Fellowship, we are entering into a study season with the Bible that will follow a mindset that may easily help you if you struggle in this area. While there are different study methods, there is one that has really opened up the Word for many and we hope it will for you as well!

Pastor Tom returns from a two week mission trip in Thailand with plenty to share! This podcast serves as an overview of the trip itself and includes exciting information of what God is doing between The Shepherd’s Fellowship and Bible Church Thailand!mission, missions,

Pastor Tom returns from a period of sabbatical to reveal the next season at The Shepherd’s Fellowship. Last year, God led us to focus on the very foundation of the church and each other through the Word. This year, we move to mobilize!

Maybe you have a bad impression of Christians and the church because in your past, it never lived up to the hype.

Maybe you have been a Christian for years and even grew up in church but wondered why the church was not making the difference in the world you felt it should.

Maybe you are on fire for the Lord and either need encouragement as He leads or feel He’s leading you to a new step or level.

Then we hope you jump in to catch the vision of the next couple months as we dive into these and many more areas of being mobilized to live “Beyond Church”!

“While we continue to trip through different blocks that keep us from experiencing the fullness of Christ in our lives, this podcast we dig into His purpose. What is His purpose for creating us? His purpose in loving you? What is our purpose in this world?

If you have been struggling and it seems like you just can’t move forward or find your place, this might be a great one to hit.”

Hi, I'm Tom and this is my web-site. Sometimes, within ministry, it seems there are only two options.....to be a believer of the Scripture and be seen as being self righteous, judgmental, and hyprocritical or believe you have to water down the Bible to being loving, merciful, and full of grace. Well, I fall in the middle of all that...I am an emerging conservative. I am in love with the community and relational spirituality as seen in the Bible and the ministry of Jesus Christ and believe we can have it here today! Join in on the conversation, won't you?
